It was an hour before daybreak and we’re walking towards the end of Station 1. Barefooted, we glided on the smooth white sand of Boracay. We laughed, yelled and ran like kids with the moon as our guide. We weren’t as smashed as we wanted to be but the buzz from the all-nighter partying gave us the daring nerve to do such things. And then we arrived at our home on the quiet end of Station 1 – the White House Beach Resort.

| Hello there, bamboo windbreakers! (blame the southwest monsoon) |
If you’re a certified beach lover, you’d know the feeling
when you want your holiday home near the beach. White House Beach Resort in
Boracay gave me and my buddies this perfect exclusion from the party crowd. The
beachfront resort boasts its perfect location for beach frolicking. The front
entryway will lead you to the main road while the back entrance is just a few
meters away from the beach, like ten cartwheels away.

| Lounge all day... |
We arrived late in the evening and were immediately
greeted by the staff at the front desk. Our bookings were made beforehand so we
just needed to hand out our identification cards so as to process the
reservations. We were treated with cold towels and refreshing welcome drinks as
we waited.

Our group booked for a Deluxe Room (check room types and rates) and were assigned on the third level of the resort that provided a
roadside view. I would’ve wished to transfer on a room that offered a view of
the beach but would require a room upgrade, so we settled on the aforementioned
room type.

The toilet and bath was equipped with hot and cold
shower. Toiletries were also provided for.
The booze from our first night's partying was still hammering my head as
we head out of the room for breakfast. We were 30 minutes away from missing it.
Complimentary plated breakfast was served at Station Juan Café, the in-house
restaurant of the resort. It is open from 7:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. every day and
is open for non-guests.
Our breakfast options were; Continental breakfast,
American breakfast or Pinoy breakfast
staple of fried rice, egg (of your choice) and meat of your choice (tapa, longganisa and tocino). All
of the meals were inclusive of juice and unlimited brewed coffee. Serving size
was average and the dishes were tasty. I
wished though that the breakfast was served on the beachfront loungers so as to
enjoy the view.

Me and my buddies were all lost and dazed as we gaze
upon the shore, not minding the windbreakers that were set up during habagat season or southwest monsoon. Boracay's white sand glowed in the radiant ten-o’ clock sun. Nobody was speaking. And we
lounged there for another two hours before we went back to the world (check here for discounted tours, transportation and activities in Boracay).

| Yes, all day, here... |
The White House Beach Resort has the perfect
location. Away from the party crowd of Boracay's Station 2, I could stay there all day
and just stare at the brilliant seascape. I wouldn’t mind being stuck there
even if it rained, with some booze preferably.
